  • At the Hemingways: Ernest Returns From War

    BY MARCELLINE HEMINGWAY SANFORDIn .June of 1917, Ernest Hemingway graduated from Oak Park High School in the same class with his older sister Marcelline. All thoughts of college had been driven from his mind hv the war. Ernest’s efforts to enlist, what the family heard from him, the wounds which he received in Italy, and the long, sometimes restive convalescence which he submitted to at home are here described in affectionate detail. This is the third installment to be drawn from Mrs. Sanford’s family portrait, AT THIS HEMINGWAYS,which will shortly be published by Atlantic, Little-Brown.

  • At the Hemingways: My Doctor Father

    The origin and upbringing of a famous writer are of permanent interest to those who admire and study his work. For his first eighteen years’ Ernest Hemingway lived in the midst of a happy family, spending his winters in Oak Park, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago, where he made a name for himself in high school, and the summer holidays at the family cottage at Walloon Lake, Michigan. No one has a clearer picture of these formative years than his sister MARCELLINE HEMINGWAY SANFORD, eighteen months his senior. At the editors urging, and to hand down a true account to her children and grandchildren, she began in 1956 to record her recollections, which will be published next spring under the AtlanlicLittle, Brown imprint. In the December ATLANTIC we printed the account of the family doings at Walloon Lake, and now comes the portrait of her doctor father. A third and final installment, on the war years, will appear in the February issue.
